Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders showed his support for the LGBTQ community by marching in a New Hampshire Pride parade Saturday.

The Vermont senator was seen posing for pictures and chatting with attendees as he marched in the Nashua Pride Festival in Nashua, New Hampshire.

As the crowd of his supporters trooped along around him, they could be heard chanting ‘Bernie! Bernie!,’ ‘Equal rights for all!,’ and ‘Hey hey, ho ho, transphobia’s got to go!,’ according to the Boston Globe.

New York City, in which four million people are expected to gather for Sunday’s WorldPride march, saw multiple Pride events Saturday including the 38th annual Front Runners New York LGBT Pride Run, which broke the Guinness World Record for the largest pride charity run, thanks to its 10,236 participants, according to ABC 7.

LGBTQ youth and allies filled Central Park for the Youth Pride event, at which Ava Max and other performed. Just a few streets over, at Pier 97’s Pride Island, Kim Petras and Amara La Negra were among those hitting the stage.

Lightning and heavy rain led the NYPD to temporary evacuate both Youth Pride and Pride Island events, which were jam packed at about 5pm. About an hour and a half later, however, Pride Island was reopened and concert goers were allowed back into the venue, where Grace Jones would be headlining later in the evening.

Millions of members of the LGBTQ community and allies around the world, from Mexico City to North Macedonia, also took to the streets Saturday, adorned in rainbow colors and glitter to celebrate the Gay Pride.

Rainbow flags and umbrellas swayed and music pounded as the march along Mexico City’s Paseo de la Reforma avenue got underway, with couples, families and activists seeking to raise visibility for sexual diversity in the country.

Same-sex civil unions have been legal in Mexico City since 2007, and gay marriage since 2009. A handful of Mexican states have also legalized same-sex unions, which are supposed to be recognized nationwide. But pride participants said Mexico has a long way to go in becoming a more tolerant and accepting place for LGBTQ individuals.

‘There’s a lot of machismo, a lot of ignorance still,’ said Monica Nochebuena, who identifies as bisexual.

Nochebuena, 28, attended the Mexico City march for the first time with her mother and sister on Saturday, wearing a shirt that said: ‘My mama already knows.’ Her mother’s shirt read: ‘My daughter already told me.’

Human rights activist Jose Luis Gutierrez, 43, said the march is about visibility, and rights, especially for Mexico’s vulnerable transgender population. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights says that poverty, exclusion and violence reduce life expectancy for trans women in the Americas to 35 years.

In the North Macedonian capital of Skopje, U.S. Charge d’Affaires Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm attended the first pride march there in a festive and incident-free atmosphere despite a countermarch organized by religious and ‘pro-family’ organizations.

People from across Macedonia took part, along with marchers from neighboring Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia and other countries.

‘This year Skopje joined more than 70 Pride (marches) and the USA are very proud to be part of this,’ Schweitzer-Bluhm told reporters. ‘There is a lot of progress here in North Macedonia but still a lot has to be done.’

In Paraguay, about 2,000 people marched through the capital some carrying signs saying ‘Universities Free of Homophobia’ and ‘Equal Rights.’

The gay pride march came on the same day that conservative Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez tweeted: ‘We will defend the family as the basis of society and the protection of life from conception.’

In Paris, revellers had to contend with soaring temperatures before a friendly firefighter sprayed a hose over the crowd. An estimated 500,000 people gathered for the march, which ran from Montparnasse to Republique, according to RFI.

For the first time ever, Dublin’s Pride parade Saturday saw police officers from Northern Ireland joining the more than 150 groups marching in what was believed to be one of the biggest Pride celebrations in recent years, according to the BBC.

Tens of thousands of spectators were said to have flocked to Dublin’s city center for the parade, which featured a surprise performance by Riverdance, while activist and artist Will St. Leger served as the grand marshal, the Irish Times reported.

This year is particularly significant as it marks 50 years since the Stonewall Riots which began on June 28, 1969.

The demonstrations at the Stonewall Inn in New York City are considered to be one of the most defining moments in the gay rights movement.

The following year, gay liberation movements in the US marched as a show of their solidarity which has continued every year since.

The marches usually take place around the last weekend in June and this year has seen celebrations take place in cities across the world.
